England have had a much easier road to the final than Italy and the final will be their biggest test. The bookmakers think that England are going to win and have them as the betting favorites with odds of 2.62 while Italy are slight underdogs with odds of 3.0. The betting odds for the Euro 2020 final ending in a draw are currently at 2.95.

The betting odds show up that these both sides match up real even and one can expect a close game. We do not expect this game to be a goal fest as the two sides are extremely strong in defense. This game could very well end up going into extra time and then into penalties.

England will rely on the flair and brilliance of their captain Harry Kane who has 4 goals at Euro 2020 and is just one goal away from equalling Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick who are the top goal scorers of Euro 2020. While Kane has played well, Raheem Sterling has had a fantastic tournament and has 3 goals so far.

If Italy can curtail these two players, it is going to be difficult for England to find a breakthrough. Italy on the other hand have combined well as a team under their captain Giorgio Chiellini. They have thrived at Euro 2020 because they have managed to control the game and have had more ball possession than their opponents.

While England have two players scoring 7 goals between them, Italy have 5 players who have scored 2 goals apiece which shows England that they need to mark the likes of Manuel Locatelli, Ciro Immobile, Matteo Pessina, Federico Chiesa and Lorenzo Insigne very well.

If Italy make a mistake and allow England to score early on, we do believe that England will manage to keep Italy at bay and win. If England cannot score early on, we think it will frustrate them and open up more chances for Italy to win.

We are going to back England to find the back of the net and win the Euro 2020 championship.
